TWS crashes.What is the fix?

F

Free Thinker

Several times a day my IB software just crashes. It just closes down for no reason. So far here is what i have done to try and fix it:

1. called ib. no help.
2.uninstalled tws and reinstalled.
3. reinstalled java.
4.reinstalled xp.
5. changed isp.
Its getting annoying. Has anyone else been through this and what was the fix?

my system dell 4600, 2.8 ht, w xp home, 1 gig memory, 3 monitors run by 2 matrox cards g450 one is agp and one is pci. i have qwest dsl now.thanks
 
I'd say you've eliminated everything but the hardware. Have you tried running this on a different machine, maybe one that doesn't have the multiple monitor setup? Can you try another video card?

What's the crash message?

no message. it just disappears.
no to different machine. i think it has to be the machine. there has to be a conflict.
i have changed video cards.
 
Quote from rwk:

You might also try older versions of Java and TWS.

tried that. went from older version to latest version to 1 step back from latest. also tried older version of java and the new beta version.
 
I have the same PC sys as you, but I run 1 Matrox Quad card. Never had a problem. I assume you have run virus scanning software?

Its either Java, or a virus I bet.
 
You've probably already done this, but I'd check the TWS log file and see if I could determine what TWS was doing at the time of the fault.

One other test to run, would be a memory test. You can often turn on memory boot test in the BIOS (sometimes called "slow boot"), and Dell generally offers a system diagnostics tool for each system. The diagnostics tool can test memory among other things.

Sounds like a hardware problem, most likely a faulty memory chip.
